participated, IL became apparent TO
The friends OF Gov. Lowry that they

be Effected. THIS was offered ~ The
shape OF an additional resolution

A Commendable Correction.

"The Times hastens with an apology
to the Custer CHRONICLE. When we
stated that this paper had stood alone
in its opposition to the Big Bend and all
corporations of that kidney, it was with
no intention to detract from our esteem
ed contemporary; neither was it in
ignorance of the honest and consistent
position occupied by the CHRONICLE ever
since the Big Bend and its peculiar.ties
came to the surface, but somehow or
other-and just how 1t is impossible to
state-we blundered into the misstate-
ment BY the way, we understood from
the Journal that the proprietor Of the
Times is to be re-indicted by the next
Pennington county grand jury, in which
event, as misery loves company, the
companionship of the CHRONICLE will
be appreciated"
The above from the Deadwood Times
reads well. We confess that we are
greatly pleased with its faultless word
ing and admirable tone Even the
addendum reference to the possibil-
ity of future court companionship
affords more pleasure than pain in its
contemplation, with such powerful
allies as right, and the fearless Times.

Demurrer Sustained.

At the opening of court at Rapid yes
terday morning, Judge Thomas render
ed decision sustaining demurrer to the
indictment in the case of Chadwick,
misnamed the territory Of Dakota, vs.
Porter Warner, for libel. Thus ends the
greatest farce and attempted outrage
ever perpetrated in the name of the
territory or an individual. Mr.. Warner
greatly disliked appearing as not dis
posed to 90 to trial, but irregularities o.
the indictments were such that tria
could not properly be had. Anticipat
ing trial, and desirous Of exposing al
rank fraud ard swindle as ever afflIct
ed community, agents were sent cas-
as far as New York and west to Helena
and Portland in search of evidence
They were much more successful thar
we had dared to hope, and had oppor
tunity occurred Mr.. Warner would no
only have proven true every word pub
lished, but would have surprised tn,

rottenness of the swindling concern anS
the facility with which it had duped al
unsuspecting public.-Times, l3.

Assessment Work.

There is comparatively few men in
terested in mines; and as the year
approaches its close, the question of
assessment work comes up for earnest
consideration. Ordinarily, in the past,
the rule has been, to abandon claims
which did not show favorable indica-
ton of value, and submit them to the
chance Of relocation at some future
time; but the situation is greatly
changed, and we believe il safe to say
that there will not be one claim aban-
doned this year, where there was ten
forfeited every year since 1878. There
has never before been that degree of
anxiety and solicitude manifested in
this direction and the result will be
that all tin, gold and silver bearing
claims will be fully represented by the
